2659. It was reported from Jābir bin 'Atīq that Allāh's Prophet ﷺ said: "From Al-Ghairah is what Allāh loves, and from it what Allāh hates. As for that which Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, it is Ghairah in matters of doubt; and as for that which Allāh hates, it is Ghairah in matters in which there is no doubt. And indeed from pride there is some which Allāh hates, and some which Allāh loves. As for the pride which Allāh loves, it is the pride of man during the time of battle, and his pride at the time of
giving charity; and as for the one which Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime hates, it is the pride shown through oppression.” (One of the narrators) Mūsā said: “and by boasting.” (Hasan)

Commentary
Al-Ghairah is a sense of honor and jealousy regarding one's women-folk. Al-Ghairah in matters of doubt would be like when a man sees a person of no close blood relation with his wife or daughter, etc. An example of when there is no doubt would be when someone wants to marry his sister or widowed (or divorced) mother in a legal way, then he should not be over protective of her if the one who proposed has good conduct and is religious.
